    Do you want to? Will your Aunt be paying you any rent if this deal goes ahead, or are you buying a permanent free lodger?

    She can sell the property to you for any price she likes as long as it's enough to settle the mortgage on it.

    For the life of me, I cannot imagine why she can't sell it and realise more than the eighteen grand you're proposing to pay her for it. And any other buyer wouldn't have her moving in with them afterwards either.
